Any Pit Boss® Grills unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and
maintenance tips to service your Smoke Cabinet:
1.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do
this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Clean the inside of your smoke cabinet on a consistent basis.
2.
• Wipe your smoke cabinet down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered
under warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of
the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill and Smoke Cabinet for complete protection! A cover is your best protection
against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a
garage or shed.

The temperature of your Smoke Cabinet is determined by Four (4) Important Components: Grill Temperature, Chimney Damper
Positioning, Cabinet Damper Positioning, and the Outdoor Ambient Temperature. As you become more familiar with these
variables and how they operate together, your operating knowledge of the unit will become easier.
•
The grill is the source of heat to the Smoke Cabinet. The hotter the grill, the hotter the available air to the Smoke Cabinet. If
smoking
low and slow
, more smoke is available for hot smoking or cold smoking in the Smoke Cabinet.
•
The cabinet damper is the control of airflow going out of the Smoke Cabinet. Mostly, this damper will remain closed,
keeping the smoke and heat inside the Smoke Cabinet. If opened, it will allow the smoke and heat to exit the cabinet
chamber. It can be used if only a mild smoke flavoring is desired. When not in use, the cabinet damper should be closed.
•
The outside air temperature has a significant affect on the temperature of your Smoke Cabinet, as weather conditions can
alter the temperature range achieved. To obtain the best results, cold smoking should be done only during the cooler months
or low-sun times of the day, such as early morning, early evening, or during the night. The cooler the temperature is outside,
the longer you can operate your grill at the low temperatures, and the more you can leave the chimney damper open,
resulting in more smoke flavor penetrating your culinary delights.
